We are saddened to announce Francis Lee Weedon, 97, passed away peacefully in his sleep on August 19, 2026, and was called home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Francis was a lifelong entrepreneur, farmer, oil-field worker, businessman, and skilled problem-solver. His career included work in oil exploration and geophysical and water-well services before he helped establish Frontier Logging Corporation, LLC, a business he built and operated for more than 30 years. Francis was also highly respected within the water-well and groundwater industry. He served as president of the National Ground Water Association (NGWA) for many years and, in 2020, received the prestigious Ross L. Oliver Award, one of the highest honors presented by the National Ground Water Association. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Francis accepted the award remotely, with the presentation appearing on a large screen in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was extremely humbled and proud to receive this distinguished recognition for his many years of service and contributions to the industry. He remained active in his work until selling Frontier Logging Corporation at the age of 94.

So many like Francis is why we started the Oklahoma Groundwater Hall of Fame. Our 2027 nominations are open and will be presented at our January conference and trade show. Please take a moment to honor Francis and other like him and nominate those that make this industry truly unlike any other.
